Popcharger = AC Problem?
Ever since i got my JWT popcharger installed, my AC is gone.
I recharged it twice within 2 months and i still HOT air when the ac is on.

Anyways, please let me know how i can fix this problem b/c i dont want to pay $200 to fix it.
Thanks!

I don't know how else to explain it, but there is basically a switch or valve on your ac up front that needs to be toggled or opened. If you had the PopCharger installed at a shop, they might have closed it before they installed the intake.
Guesses:
You bumped or moved the wiring/plug for the A/C pressure switch. This will cause the system to read no pressure in the system and it won't turn on.
Check the Switch itself and the wiring to it/plug, etc.

Anyways there's a diagnostic procedure you can use with the Automatic Climate Control.

Were you forceful when you installed your pop charger? The only possibility I can think of is that you may have damaged your AC lines during the install, or cracked the hard line somehow so that you have a pinhole leak somewhere.
Does your AC blow cold immediately after a recharge?

A couple of things.
The Pop-Charger has a known issue of hitting the AC line that runs down the inner fender wall. Most people put foam or a piece of rubber hose (thats what I did when I had the charger a long while back). Check to make sure you didn't puncture the line.
Second, did you by any chance do any work under the dash/steering column that day? There is a sensor/plug behind the panel under the ignition, if its unplugged, it will blow hot air. There is actually a tube that connects to this sensor.
Hopefully it's something simple. Good luck

First, of all save this to you cpu: you will thank me later http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/
Second, your climate control has a SELF-DIAGNOSTIC MODE that you can perform to help you with your ac system instead of guessing. It helpded me figure out that it was my compressor in my g and the fan control amp in my wifes maxima and the blower moter on my pathfinder. I would taking the laptop to the car and scroll as you go through the checks.
